Reading Challenge 2.0

Erica posted this things called The Big Read, from the NEA, designed to encourage community reading initiatives. They’ve come up with this list of the top 100 books, using criteria they don’t explain, and they estimate that the average adult has only read 6 of these. So, we are encouraged to:

1) Look at the list and bold those we have read.2) Italicize those we intend to read.3) Underline the books we LOVE (I’ve used an asterisk)4) Reprint this list in our own blogs
